Topic: Deadnaming

A group of 250 celebrities signed an open letter urging social media platforms to crack down on "anti-trans hate" and disinformation. Simultaneously, Michigan lawmakers proposed HB 4474, which would criminalize speech that causes "severe mental anguish" or makes an individual feel "terrorized." The hosts argue these efforts are designed to implement broad hate speech laws that silence dissent regarding gender ideology.

The media's handling of the Nashville shooter's identity is discussed, specifically the debate over "deadnaming" and gender pronouns. In Arizona, Governor Katie Hobbs's press secretary, Jocelyn Berry, resigned after posting an image on Twitter that appeared to advocate for violence against "transphobes" shortly after the shooting.

A viral video of a transgender woman reacting aggressively to being called "sir" by a store clerk is discussed. The incident, which took place in a retail setting, involved the customer demanding a corporate number and threatening physical confrontation. The hosts use the event to highlight the increasing tension in society regarding gender identity, "deadnaming," and the "triggering" of individuals.
